Hi, my name is Sue and I live with my partner in a village in Derbyshire. I love all kinds of mixed media crafting and am never happier than when I'm elbow deep in paint ! I hope you enjoy your visit !

Can't see for looking !

Have you ever had one of those moments when you've used something ( in this case an ink pad) and then it just disappears into thin air! After turning my craft room upside down, throwing a few things across the room and coming to a decision that it had definitely disapeared...I found it !

I've made this card for my sister to give to her eldest daughter for her birthday on Tuesday of this week. The main image is one of my favourtite's at the moment and it's from an Aspects of Design stamp set, which is stamped with black Archival ink and then I've used Dusty Concord DI around the edge. I've mounted it onto a piece of card that I've stamped the En Francais text stamp by Stampin' Up at a jaunty angle and then cut it out using Labels 14 Nestability and used Chipped Sapphire DI around the edge. The border has been made using a Tim Holtz edge die and I've used some more Dusty Concord DI around the edge.

The background was made using Dusty Concord DI too and I've stamped with the same ink using the butterfly stamp from another Aspects of Design stamp set, the word is from an Elusive Images set. The flower is made using Tattered Flowers Tim Holtz Sizzix die and grunge paper. I've used Chipped Sapphire and Dusty Concord to colour the paper and the centre is from the Tim Holtz foliage ideaology set. I've done some zig zag stitching over two of the corners and added some nail heads too, it's all mounted onto some Papermania paper.

Know the feeling about losing stuff, I spent 2 hours colourng in an image last week to use for a DT card tommoz and its vanished!! Spent an hour and half turfing the house up lookng for it before colouring in another one (which I didnt like so did a 3rd one!) Still havent found first one though but half expected to after I finished the card this evening!
